Review: Choices

M/m kinksters who enjoy dub-con, this is a must read. Ms. Duncan is a new to me author. She's one I will be following. This book is a richly woven tale of sexual servitude, sexual slavery, love and court politics. Best friends Teman and Jasim used up all their luck. They are basically "re-possessors". This last item they tried to retrieve was a set up. It's never clear who set them up, but the results are nevertheless, constricting. They can go to the dungeon in iron chains or go to the harem in golden chains.

The sex in this story is hot. Those who enjoyed the Beauty Series by Anne Rice will enjoy the sexual training of Teman and Jasim. I'm never going to think of an anklet ringed with bells the same again. The behaviour modification is subversively depraved. Almost makes me want to find a couple of not so submissive humans, capture them and test out this theory. The CBT is delicious as well as the constant edging. The sadistic parts in this story isn't the "acceptable" BDSM yet I still enjoyed it. I liked the cruelty and the poor beaten male slaves. The King, Mukesh was a dastardly bastard.

This tale is more than just sex and more sex. There is a plot with a believable conflict as well as good character development. I like Teman and how he struggles with his captivity. He's living a better life than if he were working on the streets, yet he's a gypsy, used to packing up and leaving at a moment's notice. Will he survive living in a cage, no matter how luxurious? Teman is determined to escape yet his plans are changed when he meets Bathasar. Bathasar is the heir to the crazy sadistic Mukesh. He's different than his father. Bathasar falls for Teman. Their blooming romance is sweet and in constant threat from the Mukesh. This conflict is well done and did tug at my heart strings.

The world building for this story is just enough for a reader to gain perspective and a frame of reference. For those who know a little about Turk and China, it may make this story easier to assimilate. Even without this background, it's easy to understand and follow. Overall, I found this story silky smooth and riveting. I read it in one sitting. Recommended for kinky m/m dub-con romance lovers.

What is chemical play? Is it acids that are used to burn body parts?
No. It's using different types of substances to illicit sensation on
the skin and perhaps in the body. Generally the substances are in liquid
form for easy application. I'm going to go through only the ones I've
used. I am sure there are more. Hopefully others will be happy to
share their experiences. As usual, I'm going to use the terms Top and
bottom for the person applying the person receiving, respectively.

Safety first

With chemical play, while there is a lessor possibility of harm, it
still exists. There can be adverse reactions. It could be a person is
allergic to the chemical. It is important to ask about any allergies
the bottom may have.

Another thing to be concerned with
chemical play is where it contacts. There are some things which can
burn and temporarily damage delicate mucus membranes. Not everyone's
body reacts the same to chemicals so it is…

What?How can stapling be sexy?Who
wants to be stapled?How on earth did
these BDSM deviants pervert a stapler?
Are these the thoughts running through your
head?They were the thoughts running
through my head.The only time I've seen
stapling done on a person is on the Jackass
Movie.There doesn't seem to
be a clip of it on Youtube.However,
Steve-O from Jackass did do it again with a regular stapler here.
The stapler I'm referring to is NOT a regular
office stapler or a staple gun found at a hardware store.Could you use those?Yes.Is it advisable?No.Instead, we are going to learn about surgical
staple guns.There are a couple of
different brands.
The focus of this topic is where you can
staple and how you can mix it up in your scene. Safety
Yes, it's safety time again!It's boring but mandatory.
First, stapling does cause a break in the
skin.Depending on the person and
sometimes even the time of the month, a person may or ma…

What is a sensual sadist? How does this work? Doesn't a sadist only
give pain? I've read in some books which argue there is no such thing
as a sensual sadist and they don't like that phrase at all.

I
have had the pleasure of attending a class from a self titled, Sensual
Sadist. Here are my notes from the class. Any mistakes are due to me
as a note taker, not the presenter.

The presenter in the class
was Haven. He's a second generation Dom. His parents are in the
lifestyle and lived it as he was growing up in the household.

Haven
was an extremely dynamic presenter who kept the class captivated. He
was well spoken and based on his work at Renaissance Faires, I'm not
surprised. Haven is on fetlife. He also has a blog which he adds to
here and there - Kinky as I am.

What does it mean to be a sensual sadist?

For Haven, it means two parts.

1. More senses than just touch. Toys can be used to caress or cause pain.
